Tammy Sytch "Sunny" Announced to the WWE Hall of Fame

They called her the original diva, and in many ways that is the best way to refer to the next inductee to the WWE Hall of Fame.  Although her legal name is Tammy Sytch, she is best known to wrestling fans as "Sunny".

As Sunny, Tammy Sytch was not known for what she did in the ring....and nor should she as she never really did wrestle.  But she was eye candy who appealed to virtually all men and knew how to talk on the microphone.  We had her at #103, which we felt was an accurate number.  Sytch was ranked lower than Miss Elizabeth, who we feel was the first true non wrestling female superstar, but as Sunny, Sytch did pave the way for many of the Divas who followed.  Congratulations are in order!

"Bullet" Bob Armstrong is announced to the WWE Hall of Fame

The next entrant to the 2011 WWE Hall of Fame Class has been announced and it is "Bullet" Bob Armstrong.  The "Bullet" may not be known to a lot of newer wrestling fans, but he was a long time star in the American South throughout the 70's and early 80's, and is the father of  attitude era star, the Road Dogg.

We had ranked Armstrong #131 on our list, and though he did get inducted, it is a rank we still agree with.  Bob Armstrong never worked for Vince Jr., and though he had a good relationship with Vince Sr., his star never rose beyond the South.  The announcement of Bob Armstrong's induction was not done on the flagship program of Monday Night Raw, but on wwe.com, and although their website is one of the world's biggest, the fact that the video package was not shown on television does show that Armstrong's stature was not a big one.  It is a possibility that this induction was aided by this year's Wrestlemania site (Atlanta), as an homage to Georgia Championship Wrestling where Armstrong once starred.  Regardless, we here at notinhalloffame congratulate the Bullet and can we now assume that the "Armstrong Curse" is over?   

 

 

RIP: Duke Snider 1926-2011

We here at Notinhalloffame mourn the loss of Baseball Hall of Famer, Duke Snider who passed away today.  Snider was one of the All Time great Dodgers, and he entered the Hall of Fame in 1980.  The former eight time All Star, and constant MVP threat in the 1950's blted 407 Home Runs in his illustrious career.   "The Duke of Flatbush" had his number #4 retired by the Dodgers in 1980.  It was a well deserved honor.
